Hints

A hint is an advice that helps the supplier to fill in a particular section, category, criterion, or column in the form. A hint may be set to appear as a small text or an icon (tooltip). When the icon hint is used, the text appears on mouseover. If a text hint is used, the hint appears directly as text underneath the object (section name, category name, criterion name, or column name).

The Master Form Editor allows a user to edit the hints. After you add or edit a hint, you can forward a test specification to a dummy partner and check how your supplier will see the hint. Read how to send a test specification here.

Supplier's Guide Master Form Editor supports the following types of hints:

Section hints

Category hints

Column hints

Criteria hints

 

Adding a hint

To add a hint, right-click on the section, category, or column you want to use the hint for. In the case of individual criteria, right-click on the number instead of the name of the criterion. Select Add hint from the context menu. In the case of sections and categories, you can further select whether the hint should display at the top or in the bottom.
